Only heavy cast wheels will hurt performance. There are plenty of quality wheels out there to choose from in a 20 diameter that are lightweight. My car is a perfect example of that.

In my opinion, 18's are way too small for these cars due to the size of the large fenderwells. 18's are just too small to the point almost look like a spare tire. These new 5.0's are quite large cars especially when compared to the fox 5.0's back in the day where 17's were the norm or a custom wheel was an 18 to fill the fenderwell.

When it comes to wheels, it's especially true, you get what you pay for. If you buy a "cheaper" wheel, it's going to made cheaply using cheaper, heavier materials.
